The Aberdare Leader

THE ABERCYNON SPORTS. Sir,—I was amazed to hear on Tuesday, July 29, of the judges' de- cision in the li mile galloway race at the Abercynon Sports held on Thurs- day, July 24th. I should very much like to know why the stewards awarded the race to Blanko when he deliberately crossed the course on the bottom corner twice, thereby stealing ground on the other horses who kept the course, which Blanko, according to my opinion as a specta- tor, did not, and therefore ought to have been disqualified. Further, ac- cording to the programme I bought on the course it stated that the win- ner of each heat had to run in the final. But I was surprised to see that the stewards allowed the first and second horse in each heat to run the final. I think this is hardly fair to the owners of the horses who won their heats. Why should the second horse be allowed to run the final ? I should like to hear the opinions of other spectators in regard to this race.—I am, GOOD SPORT.

RE RAMBLING CLUBS. Sir,—Allow me to thank your Aberaman correspondent for his in- formation of their Rambling Club, and when opportunity offers I will avail myself of his kind invite to join them for an afternoon's ramble. I hope that we at Aberdare will follow their admirable example.—Yours re- spectfully, M.P.

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE ACT AND SUPPRESSION OF SUNDAY TRADING CRUSADE. Dear Sir,—When will our English Free Church friends take up their definite stand on this question re (1) The proposed Sunday Trains in Aberdare; (2) To join the National Movement re Abolition of Sunday Labour? I fail to find that they have sent representatives to the meetings of the latter lately held at Cardiff on two occasions when re- presentatives of the Welsh Free Church Council, Chamber of Trade, Hairdressers' Association and News- agents' Associations of Aberdare were present. The lack of a secretary owing to the departure of the Rev. A. B. Kin- sey may be the cause; but could not the president convene a meeting? Surely this is part of the duty of th churches to endeavour to secure the sanctity of our Sabbath as enjoined upon us in the 'Book.' Yours re- spectfully, FREE CHURCHMAN.

SPIRITUALISM AT ABERCYNON Sir,—Will you kindly allow me a small space in your paper to reply to a paragraph in your issue of July 24 under the heading, "Materialist or Spiritualist," and referring to a meeting which I addressed at Aber- cynon. I certainly did say, "I would not place the Bible in the hands of my children." I do not recollect having said, "It ought to be bui-zit." As to my uncomplimentary remarks about David, I was referring to the story of his adultery with Bathsheba, and his subsequent act of sending her husband Uriah to the front of the Army so that he might be killed. In connection with that incident I re- ferred to David as a "scoundrel." Surely "A Believer" would not wish to compliment a man for committing adultery and planning murder "Then," says "A Believer," "To crown all he stated that he did not believe in the existence of God." I most emphatically deny having said so. Had "A Believer" been present at the meeting he would have heard me read out the seven main princi- ples of Spiritualism, the first of which is, "The Fatherhood of God." I have not the time or desire to enter into a newspaper controversy on the subject, besides, the case for Spiritu- alism is at present being very ably dealt with by my friend Mr. G. E. Owen. I thank "A Believer" for his expression of a desire for fair- ness to the speaker, and heartily in- vite him to attend the debate on the subject at the large Workmen's Hall, Abercynon, between Mr. Sargeant, of Abercynon, and myself, on Tues- day, August 19th.-I am, yours re- spectfully, A. ESSERY.

DUST AND DISEASE AT ABERDARE. Dear Sir,—The District Council have gone to much and increasing expense in providing medical officers of health here who have supple- mented the King Edward VII. Con- sumption Crusade education by their own efforts at teaching us to combat the evils connected with dirty habits, etc., which are the foundation of the evils which men and women are heirs to and acquire. This is well and truly progressive and valuable, but does it not strike you that they (the Council and their officials) have failed ingloriously to act up to their theories in not puri- fying our streets which have recent- ly been mutilated for the laying of i the tramlines. Surely the accumulation of dust (which is according to medical evi- dence impregnated with all kinds of disease microbes) should be cleared from our main streets, and especially so during the holiday time. What is their excuse—cost or lack of water? The former may be dismissed, as they can spend a cool thousand pounds for wooden blocks, and sure- ly life is more valuable than pros- pective silence. Scarcity of water is also fallacious, as there is a plenti- ful supply fit for road cleaning purposes in the river as well as wasting in our beautiful Park, be- sides other sources. Surely the Parisians teach us a lesson in this di- rection-cleanliness. And we could adopt it if—please fill in the missing words, Mr. Editor, or perhaps some of our Councillors will oblige. I en- close you my card, so it will suffice if I sign mvself prHA. P.S.—Would the Council allow such a state of things if caused by a private individual ? I trow not —P.

RACK-RENTING AT CWMBACH. Sir.—The above is in full swing at this place. I don't know why, if it isn't because the class of people im- posed upon are honest and hard- striving people keeping their rent- books always clear. Some houses have been in a very dilapidated condition for years gone by, and the tenants have been very badly served for their long toleration through having their rents raised, without any expense in repairing or anything else to justify it. I would suggest to convene a meet- ing at the Workmen's Hall, Cwm- bach, to discuss this evil as soon as we can, and even then not satisfy ourselves with a mere protest, as has been done in some places, but deal with these tyrants as they deserve. Surely, this cause is so worthy any time as the franchise for women; it affects the bread of children in many places that I know of. We must bring some stringent measures to deal with these tyrants and money grabbers. Who would be surprised to see in the very near future the tactics of the suffragettes adopted ? And who could blame people for do- ing so? Some might laugh and scorn the idea, but I am thoroughly con- vinced that it is rapidly drifting to that point. Then the grabbers will realize their folly when they will be propertyless. The law as it is at present is useless for us, as we are all aware. Previous experience have taught us that. Consequently, let us meet at the hall some evening next week and devise a scheme to deal with the situation. It deserves the attention of every working man worthy of the name. Don't forget to turn up when you have received the notice. Come in crowds; your interest is at stake.—Yours, WATCHMAN.

NATIONAL RESERVE. Sir,—Judging from what I have seen of the N.R. in several towns, its present strength is about 300,000. When put through the sieve it will produce about 100,000 men fit to carry out the duties of a Reserve Force. I love and honour the old soldier. Is it not time for this won- derful movement, the revival of the purely British pluck, to show the fighting spirit ? It should be put on a business footing and encouraged before all its earnestness dies out through apathy on the part of those responsible for it. Is it not time these men should at least be trusted with a rifle and bandolier? There is a wonderful possibility in the N.R. if only the Government, who have been wise enough to recognise the patriotic movement, will treat the thing seriously. By this morning's post I have had the certificate K.O.H. I have been selected official delegate for Glamor- gan at the forthcoming Congress. So vast has been the scope of repar- ation for this event that nearly one thousand persons have been engaged in the organisation alone, and this has occupied more than three years. There will be delegates from China, Australia, Argentine, India, Canada and South Africa. Sir Thomas Bar- low will preside at the Congress, which will last seven days. There will be a Royal Garden Party for 2,000 at Windsor on August 9th. Another party will be given at Cliveden the following day by Mr. W. Astor, M.P., and a Government Dinner at the Hotel Cecil. Members are requested to turn up on Friday at 7.30 at the Ynys-Field, Aberdare. —Yours truly, R. H. EVANS, Local Sec. Corwen Villa, Aberaman.

ABERCWMBOI AFFAIRS. Dear Sir,—What a change has taken place in the water supply of this village since "Sychedig" penned his first letter to the "Aberdare Leader." Ever since we have had a plentiful supply of water. Is it pos- sible that a few letters from "Sych- edig" has had more influence than all the No. 5 Ward representatives on the Aberdare District Council? Previously the supply was "cut off" suddenly, without any warning what- ever, but now we have water "on" every day, and we are informed by notices of the time the supply is stopped. This shows how much our Councillors think of us. In my first letter I said that Aber- cwmboi interests are neglected by those that promised to look after them, and I still maintain that the District Councillors of No. 5 Ward only know of this place as a place to, get votes. What about the service of trams intended for this village? Why not run the cars down through Abercwmboi instead of only less than half-way ? Surely this is a case of "penny wise and pound foolish." Do our Councillors think that they are saving ratepayers' money by fix- ing the terminus by the Capcoch Inn 1 Do they think the residents of Bronallt, Tanycoed, and Mostyn Streets wild walk up to the terminus, when it is as near to walk to the Motor Halt at Duffryn Crossing? I doubt it. Surely for a small outlay they could put up a few more poles and run the cars as far as the bottom of the road leading to Abercwmboi Colliery. This would not only be a boon to the workmen in going to and from work, but it would be an in- ducement to many who spend their money at Mountain Ash to spend it at Aberdare. But why shouitl we expect anything to be done here? We are good enough to vote we are t, good enough to pay rates. But to ask for a share in the expenditure of rates must not be mentioned. It would be very interesting to the resi- dents of Abercwmboi to know how much has been received in rates from Abercwmboi during the last 15 years, and also how much has been expended on the place by the Aber- dare District Council during that term? Will one of our Councillors supply us with this information ■ Do any of our Councillors know of Jenkin Street and William Street, of Tanycoed and Mostyn Streets and despite all the money paid in rates in respect to them, that we have no de- cent road to approach these streets without mentioning their disgraceful state in winter. The writer has seen Jenkin Street in such a state in winter that it was impossible to cross the road without going over your boots in mud, the road being one seething mass of black mire. Such, Mr. Editor, is the way the interests of Abercwmboi are served by its representatives. Thus are the promises of our Councillors fulfilled. Again I ask. How can they say that our interests have been served and our confidence has not been be- trayed ?-Yours faithfully, SYCHEDIG.

Cricket. GLAMORGAN LEAGUE.—ABERDA K iJ V. LLANTWIT VARDRE. At the Ynys, Aberdare, on Saturday. the home team won with ridiculous ease. Mr Parsons proved in fine form with the ball, taking four wickets for seven runs. Tom Price (33) and J. S. Jones (36) treated the bowling with scant respect, and helped to put on the highest score achieved by the Church- men. Scores: AB.UUDA.KE. Tom George, b. Hamm 15 Jim Jones b. Stephens 5 J. S.

Going in to bat first Mr Parsons and 1'. George soon began to bowl with deadly effect, and when the first four wickets were down the visitors had only 7 runs to their credit. Thev improved, how- ever, and finished off with the respect- able total of 54 runs. The Churchmen, thanks to a poor batting display and a lack of understanding when running between the stumps, failed to reach their opponents' total, and for the fourth time this season were beaten by less thaa 10 runs.

l ———- i <m Football. Bob Nash has signed for Croydon Common, and will most likely be lost to Aberdare sport ere this month expires. Followers of "football in Aberdare are very anxious to know whether the Town Club has been disbanded. another point which they would like cleared up. What are the Directors offering the Supporters' Club for the < £ 100? Cer- tainly not an eleven. If Nash found no difficulty in obtaining a free transfer from the Southern League, then, I take it, all the remaining players can do likewise. Therefore, the demands of the Directors seem to me to be preposter- ous.

Educational Notes and I Comments. I NOT BY "ALPHA." Sir,-It is always an unpleasant task to criticise a class of people like ;he teachers, because they invariably say that the criticism is" born of an snvious spirit. When miners or tin- platers, or scavengers are criticised by someone they never dream that the person who is doing the criticis- ing is jealous of their position and envies their lot. Why this differ- ence ? I will tell you why, Mr. Editor. The teacher is only too con- scious that he has got hold of a soft thing; he knows that his position is envied by hundreds, and so when a breath of criticism comes his way he replies "Don't be jealous; rpake the best of the position God has put you in; if you've got to work 10 hours a day and 6 days a week, and do not get paid for holidays and stoppages, that is no reason why you should point a finger at us, simply because we only work 5 hours a day and 5 days a week with about 2 months holiday, with pay attached, per year. Set to work to improve your posi- tion and leave us alone in our secure and comfortable place." 1 agree, and I shall always dis- courage this jealous spirit on the part of those whose lines have not been cast in such pleasant places as the teachers. But let me tell the teachers this: IT any industrial con- cern ran its business on as gener- ous and extravagant a scale as Edu- cation Committees do, it would be bankrupt in a very short time. What firm, however big the divi- dends, could afford to reduce the working hours of their employees to 5 per day, and pay such liberal salar- ies as those paid to teachers, whether they are good, bad or in- different ? There may be a few teachers in the Aberdare Valley who are worth 2.500 or J6600 per annum, but there are a host of others who ought to be fired out to-morrow. Said a gentleman of position to me the other day: "Take the teach- ers out of their profession and they would starve in no time they would be like fish out of water." The pass- words to the profession are simply the passing of exams. Every man of the world who knows anything at all knows very well that the passing of exams, is a small and insigificant matter. There are many solicitors who have gone through every exam. the very first time, but who would not be given 950 a year by a respect- able firm of solicitors who were in need of a man. There are innumer- able accountants, and members of other classes of professions who have passed all the necessary exams, but who when you come to practical workmanship are valueless. What happens in the case of the teacher'? Let him pass his exam. and that is deemed sufficient. There is no other test, and every member is placed on an equality, and gets his advances according to age. Why pay the good and bad alike 1 There are teachers who do their work conscientiously, but "Alpha" must know full well that there are scores of time-servers and clock-watchers and holiday- waiters, who ought to be placed very low on the scale or sent going about their business. The teaching pro- fession is one where we never hear of dismissals for incapacity, etc. Of course there are incapable teachers just as there are incapable workers in other forms of employment. But there it is, provided that they are clever enough not to let Satan find too much evil for them to do in their boundless leisure moments, they are right for life, whether they perform their work efficiently or not. I still maintain that the teachers are too generously treated, and that if there is to be any further revision of salar- ies let only those who perform good and .efficient service be advanced, and not a general advance all round. I see in last week's "Leader" that there are two "Alphas" in the field against me. One says that the sup- ply of teachers is dwindling. Well. I know not. All I know is that there are a good many more teachers locally than there are places for, un- less our generous Education Com- mittees will create places for them. At Mountain Ash the other day there were 18 certificated applicants for two places. And did "Alpha" read the reports that appeared in the Press in which it was stated by the Councillors that they had been pes- tered by these applicants, who begged and prayed for their votes. This does not look like a dearth of teachers. "Alpha" also tells me that the collier is paid by the day and the teacher by the year. This. surely, is a distinction without a difference. At any rate, I cannot appreciate the difference. Teachers are paid every month. What authority has he for saying that if this arrangement were altered the scale would also have to be altered? That was a nice little tale told by "Alpha" No. 2, about the collier boy and the teacher boy, and how the former was the better off., etc. etc. [ will tell you another tale. A father had two sons, and to the eld- 3r he said: "You shall come to work with me at the colliery to in- crease the family income, and help :o send your younger brother to college. I notice that many people jry and give their youngest son something to do besides hewing coal ind drawing trams." And so it was. rhe elder brother became a hard- working collier and helped the family ind was ever at great pains in sav- ng his father from over-exerting limself while at work. They paid or nice clothes for the younger brother, paid his train-fares to Ban- gor and back home a dozen times, I jaid his fees, paid for innumerable )ooks, in fact paid everything so Iliat he should not be different from my of his college chums. Time vent by. The father worked himself o the grave- The elder brother. pith blue scars on his face and body, s married with children, and lives n a humble cottage on an average >f 33s. a week. The younger >rother is a certificated teacher, vho with his polished manners and education won the heart of a lady teacher in a district where a female can get married and retain her posi- tion. They live in a lovely villa and earn between them about C350 a year. The elder brother, through whose sweat the younger brother owes his present exalted and com- fortable place, never visits the villa, for the simple reason that he is never invited. It would be infra dig, to use the teachers' pet phrase. More anon.Yours truly, OMEGA.

Montreal, Canada. Ymweliad Gweinidog ag Eglwys Salem. O'r Drych." Y Sul diweddaf, vn hollol ddi- rybudd, ymwelwyd a Salem gan y Parch. John Lewis, o Aberaman, D. C. Dechreuodd yr oedfa yn y boreu, a chawsom bregeth fer a blasus ganddo yn yr hwvr short and sweet" fel dywed y Sais. Mae gan Mr. Lewis genadaeth neillduol yn nglyn a'i ymweliad a Chanada, set chwilio i mewn i achosion Cymreig a chael manylion am nifer y Cymry yn mhob tref o bwys a'r priodoldeb o sefydlu eglwysi Cymreig. Bydd i Mr. Lewis ymweled a phob sefydliad Cymreig o yma i Vancouver. Fe adawodd yr achos yn Montreal ar graffiadau ffafriol iawn arno, yn neillduol felly nos Sul, pan oedd yr ystafell yn orlawn. Dyna ei hanes bob nos Sul yn awr. Peth arali oedd yn gysur mawr i Mr. Lewis oedd gweled rhai o'r newydd yn ymuno a ni, a rhai yn cael eu derbyn trwy lythyrau. Mae yma gynydd amlwg er fod y Gorllewin yn denu llawer oddi yma. Yr oedd Mr. Lewis yn teimlo fod Montreal yn ddinas bwys- ig iawn; y ddinas iwyaf a'r porth- ladd mwyaf yn Canada, ac fod yr eglwys Gymraeg yma yn un bwysig, "ac," meddai, "mi ddylai fod yma eglwys wedi ei hadeiladu a hono yn ddigon o faint i gyfarfod ag angenion y Cymry." Mewn dinas fel hon fel y dywed Mi Lewis dylai fod yma adeilad cymwys i addoli ac i dderbyn y rhai sydd yn dod yma yn barhaus o'r Hen Wlad. Peth cysurus iawn ydyw cael gwein- idog Cymraeg i gyfarfod a'r llongau a chyfarwyddo y Cymry sydd yn bwr- iadu cartrefu yn y wlad fawr yma. Dyma ydyw. amcan penaf yr achos Cymreig yma cyfarwyddo a chroes- awu y rhai sydd yn disgyn yma 0'1 llongau ar eu hynt i'r gorllewin, a gwneyd cartref i'r rhai sydd yn aros yn ein mysg, a cheisio ganddynt fod mor gartrefol ac sydd bosibl mewr gwlad estronol. Wn i ddim am un man y carwn i wneyd fy nghartreJ yno yn well na Montreal yr ochr yma i'r mor. Mae amcan yr eglwys Yl1 fendigedig, ac yn haeddu cefnogaeth pob Cymro. Mae yma adfywiad cyffredinol mewn aelodaeth, a'l casgliadau yn chwyddo a'r adeilad wedi mynd yn rhy fychan- Arwydij dda ydyw hon, onide ?
